Swinging Spanner...
We have some of the same issues offshore, the passive nature of some of employees working as contractors for our company.
I have stood and looked at a serious engineering issue and asked them if they are seeing the same problems I am seeing? Either they are to frightened to answer to a white face or theIr level of engineering skill and expertees is nowhere near what it says on their CV.
This problem at GH is not just a manufacturer,engineering or maintainence issue. It goes beyond that its a safety culture issue where people are afraid to give honest answers and put their point of view forward when something is seriously wrong.
Hope the aircraft involved is not A7-GHC as this aircraft has already been down that road.
